Simple to print joystick fidget toy using magnets, print the 3 parts, install the magnets, and snap the parts together.

Printing

This model is small and requires to be printed accurately to work as expected.

  • Material: PLA, PETG
  • Layer height: 0.20mm
  • Infill: 15% (10% would also work)
  • Supports: no
  • Perimeters: 2
  • 5mm Brim for the ball (see plate layout)
  • Print time approx. 25 min. on Bambu X1C

 

Assembly

When assembling, press fit the magnets into the ball and bottom case first. Make sure magnets are oriented to attract each other. If the magnets are loose, glue them in.

The top and bottom pieces snap together. These snaps are very tight, so they may require some force to work. This is to make them a one time snap part that doesn't need any glue.

 

Magnets? Where?

This toy uses 2 magnets.
